Figures from the National Center for Education Statistics show Georgia’s public school students are approximately 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.
Chronic absenteeism persists as a significant issue in Georgia following the pandemic. Reports show 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024. The Georgia Department of Education responded with a new statewide initiative, launching a real-time attendance dashboard, a public campaign, and specific aid for districts with heightened needs to improve regular attendance.
In 2025, the Georgia Legislature approved a revision to school attendance laws banning expulsion exclusively for absenteeism. Additional aspects of the law require new reporting measures and expand diploma eligibility options for students through alternate routes.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at about 14:1, an improvement over the national average of 15:1.
